   Summary

   Michael Afton is your neighbor and childhood best friend, but around eighth grade he got new friends and began to act...different. The once sweet caring boy you crushed on back then is now...so similar to his father, and there's no going back.

   This may not totally be canon at time but I'll try my best. Also, this is in the game universe ignoring all movies and books.
